What's your experience with EM2WL?
Hi all, I've been doing EM2WL since May of 2012. Since then I've done 2 resets, gained 20 pounds and countless inches. I'm the heaviest I've ever been (with the exception of just having a baby). Now FINALLY I'm seeing some results. I've lost 3.25 inches in the past 4 weeks and gained on the scale. I don't really care about…

Should I just do another reset? ...and some other questions
Hi guys, Long story short...I am stuck. I seem to be bouncing at the same number on the scale for about 2 months. I have a BodyMedia Fit and my TDEE on average days is around 2050, but sometimes higher on really active days going up to 2200 or so.

Sedentary desk-type job...does this change my numbers?

Am I doing this right?
Hi all, I currently do 20-30 minutes on the elliptical 4-5 times a week along with 3 20-25 minutes sessions of a kettlebell circuit. I am also on my feet most of the day with my two daughters. Would this put me in the light or active category as far as exercise is concerned? Also, would you guys mind looking at my diary…

What do you do if you get sick?
I'm currently sick and it seems like I've been sick on and off for the past month or so. Should I still be eating the same amount? I still exercise when I feel up to it but don't when I feel really run down and sick (like today, for instance). Should I decrease my calories during these times or will that mess me up? I am…

Protein Consumption
Hi all, I struggle to get all the recommended protein in every day. I have my macros set at 40% protein, 30% carbs, 30% fat. Unless I consume protein shakes, I almost can never reach that protein goal. I am also trying to be as consistent as possible. I've been consuming approximately 1900 calories a day for the past month…

Finally!
12 weeks and 10 pounds later I am finally starting the 15% cut on Monday. I traveled to Greece for a month and had my husbands grandmother feeding me around the clock (maybe she knows about all this Eat More to Weigh Less Business) and I gained an additional 2 pounds. Hopefully this will work out for me. I will keep you…

Should I start this now or wait? Pelvic girdle pain?
Hi all, I just tried to post this and not sure if it went through, so I am reposting. I am reading this book now and have two questions: 1. I am going away in August for an entire month and will not have access to weights. Should I start the program now, stop for a month, and resume where I left off when I come back? I…
